  1. Lisle Dryer Vent Cleaning Lisle Dryer Vent Cleaning The Elements of a Tumble dryer Fire Avoid a fire hazard with appropriate dryer duct cleaning and dryer maintenance service Many people are diligent about having their heating system cleaned, but, so few consumers consider their clothes dryer relative to fire prevention. Numerous dryer fires happen each year, leading to fatalities, personal injuries, property destruction and home loss. In addition to being a fire hazard, poor dryer venting also presents a carbon monoxide possibility. These circumstances can be averted with suitably installed and maintained dryer venting. A clothing dryer fire takes place when lint accumulates inhibiting airflow which then results in overheating. The heat and the flammable lint are the basic active ingredients for a dryer fire. Clothes dryers create a lot of lint and just cleaning the lint screen is not enough. The lint screen entraps a lot of lint however some gets into the back of the dryer cabinet, perilously near to the pilot light. The ideal procedure to be sure your dryer venting unit is sound is to get it properly assessed and cleaned about once a year. Another concern is the span of the vent; the shorter, the more ideal. At one time most clothes dryers were in the basement, on an external wall, with a rather short, straight vent to the outdoors. Today quite a few trendy homes may have their laundry room situated far from an outside wall, with some being on the second floor. This means dryer ducts are considerably longer and are composed of some elboes where dust and lint can collect. They are also more difficult to get to thereby a greater challenge to keep cleaned. The recommended dryer vent system is short and straight. The segments must also be joined together to leave the interior smooth and devoid of screws or rivets which lint might snag on. It is crucial that the duct be composeded of stiff material, not the flexible, foil kind of hose that crushes quite easily, hampering airflow. Allow suitable open space between the dryer and the wall. A error people commonly make is forcing the dryer too close to the wall, squeezing the venting and developing an ventilation problem right off the bat. Here's one last pointer that not many people know of. The dryer vent screen must be cleaned completely with warm soapy water every few months to clear away residue build up caused by fabric softener sheets. It is indeed plausible for the lint filter to have so much build-up on it that it will hold water! This most definitely restricts air flow and causes the dryer to take more than one cycle to adequately dry a load of laundry. This feature was prepared by The Dryer Vent Wizard, who would like all people to become knowledgeable about how perilous their seemingly innocent clothes dryer might be.
